In July 2019, Deadline Hollywood posted that Heffernan and Robitel had teamed up with Sam Raimi on an "Untitled Supernatural Thriller" for Sony Pictures.[2]
Robitel was raised Catholic. He was a gymnast who first pursued acting while at USC. His spec script, The Bloody Benders, garnered the attention of Guillermo Del Toro, and was his first official optioned property.[5]
He credits his grandmother, who raised him and his sister on ghost stories, for his love of all things macabre. Robitel has been with his partner Ray for twenty years.[6]
